PHP typed class members array of string [duplicate]

Question

What is the proper syntax to declare a type string[] attribute in php?

protected string[] $array_of_strings;

does gives an error at '['

PHP doesn’t have such syntax. You can use @return string[] in a docblock if you need an IDE to pick it up — Clive

@Clive In this case, it's a property, not a function return type, so it would be @var string[] — IMSoP

Side note: this is a "property"; in PHP 8, there is a completely separate thing called an "attribute", so you may confuse people if you use the wrong term. — IMSoP

Bruh I was finishing my answer when this got closed! you can only do protected array $array_of_strings; php.net/manual/en/… php.net/manual/en/… — medilies

You can also use like:

$Array = ["foo","bar", "value"];
